Passports
To enter the Seychelles, a passport valid for the duration of stay is required by nationals referred to in the chart above.
Visas
Visas for the Seychelles are not required by nationals referred to in the chart above as long as they have an onward or return ticket, proof of sufficient funds and organised accommodation for the duration of their stay.
A visitor's permit, valid for up to three months (but often a month initially), is issued free of charge on arrival.
Nationals not referred to in the chart are advised to contact the embassy to check visa requirements for the Seychelles.
Transit
Passengers in transit must have tickets with reserved seats for their onward journey.
Sufficient Funds
All travellers should have proof of funds to cover their stay, which is considered to be at least US$150 per day.
Extension of stay
You can extend your visitor's permit for a period of up to three months from the date of issue and for successive periods not exceeding three months at a time to a maximum period of 12 months. There is a fee of Rs5,000 (approximately £290) for each three-month extension (the first three months are free). You must apply at the Department of Immigration at least a week before your current permit expires.
Entry with children
Single parents are sometimes asked for documentation proving their parental responsibility.
Entry with pets
If you are coming to the Seychelles as a visitor, bringing your pet isn't an option, as animals can only be imported for a minimum period of six months. If you are planning on staying longer, you must obtain an import permit. Your animal requires an up-to-date rabies vaccination certificate and a veterinary health certificate. Depending on your country of origin, your pet will also need to undergo a period of quarantine of two weeks to six months.
